On February 12, 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (''FTC'') announced that it filed a complaint against the nation's three largest dental supply companies - Henry Schein, Inc., Benco Dental Supply Company, and Patterson Companies - alleging they violated U.S. antitrust laws by conspiring to refuse to provide discounts to or otherwise serve buying groups representing dental practitioners. According to this announcement, the complaint details communications between executives of Benco and Henry Schein evidencing the agreement, and their attempts to monitor and ensure compliance with the agreement. The FTC also claims that Patterson joined the agreement.
